Jersey shore

Planning for summer of 2015 already. Our kids will be 12, 10, and 6 and like all of the typical kid stuff, beaches, rides, games, etc. We're looking for FHU with close proximity to attractions.

Ideally, I am looking for a campground that is close to (or on if possible) the beach, a fun kid friendly boardwalk, and near Philly (we want to head out there for one day).
Not sure what boardwalk is the best. Does it matter? Are they all the same? We don't want to be with the drunk college students but we don't have toddlers anymore either and the kids like action.
Suggestions for campgrounds with pools and water slides will be appreciated.

Thoughts?
Thanks.

    Thanks for the suggestions. The zoo in Cape May sounds like a great idea.

    Also, Maryland is not an option as we are coming from New York and don't want to drive quite that far. When we hit the state of Maryland, it will be to visit DC.

    We are currently at Holly Shores campground near Cape May, NJ. Don't have kids, but there are many are here who seem to be enjoying the pool, playground, and many planned activities. Sites are level, bathhouses clean (though showers cost a quarter like all NJ campgrounds at the shore), and mature trees (shady) throughout the large campground. As a senior citizen, I still enjoy the Wildwood beaches and boardwalk just as I did when a kid. Very tacky souvenir shops and arcades, but lots of great rides and I can still play skeeball. Bring lots of money for 3 kids. :) Cape May is a whole different world and fun in its own right. Both towns easily visited from Holly Shores.
